Re: ““Personhood” Gets Personal”
How many So-Called Pro Lifers carry signed organ donor pledges? 18 people will die each day in our country waiting for an organ. One organ donor can save up to 8 lives.
Of course, we live in a free country and this is a personal, ethical and moral medical decision that each citizen has a right to make.
Should there be a law requiring all people to be organ donors, because it is " pro life?"
In vitro fertilization is a personal medical decision that all citizens have a right to make. It is a shame that this courageous woman has had to share a personal, difficult medical situation with the public in order for our legislators and others to understand & respect her rights.

Re: “Pro-Choice Rally Turns Raucous”
The police are doing what they were ordered to do.
Who is really at fault here? Who on earth ordered them to carry weapons?! This decision was clearly meant to provoke.
At the silent protest on 2/20, the police were very cool. We even overheard them declaring to each other loudly, for our benefit, "these people are not breaking any laws, simply taking a walk in the park, and they aren't blocking the walkways...etc.."
